Sriptural Reading

A helpful way to fight depression is by recalling the promises and truths from God’s Word. Read over, meditate, and memorize these Bible verses so you can quickly recall them when you begin to feel your thoughts spiral. Here are a few of our favorite Scriptures. 

 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. – Deuteronomy 31:8

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. – Psalm 34:17

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him. – Psalm 40:1-3

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:6-7

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. – Philippians 4:8

Praying a Spirit of Peace Over a Troubled Mind

Lord, I know that Satan created the spirit of fear, anxiety, doubt, and worries to torture and entrap my mind and rob me of my joy, peace, and sleep. When what-ifs wake me in the dark of night, please help me to denounce Satan and remember 1 Peter 5:7 where you say internal peace is as simple as casting all my anxiety on you because you care for me.

I am comforted that you see into the depths of my heart and the intricacies of my mind where unhealthy fears dwell. You already know what’s troubling me, but you want to hear me share my concerns with you to release the stronghold grip they have on my thoughts and emotions.

Father, I trust that you don’t want me to waste a moment of my life fretting. Please calm my racing heart and fill my troubled mind with hope and my spirit with peace. Assure me that no weapon formed against me will prosper and you have a plan and a purpose for me in this time of turmoil.

Show me your ways Lord and grant me the courage to follow where you lead. Amen.

For the Empty Places

Dear Father God, today I am at the end of myself. I have tried and failed to work various situations out in my life, and returned to the same empty place each time, feeling alone and defeated. As I read Your Word, I am reminded that many of Your most faithful servants endured hardships in order to learn of Your faithfulness. Help me, Oh God, to realize that in the times of distress and confusion, You are there, just waiting for me to seek Your face. Help me Lord to choose You over myself and to have no other gods before You. My life is in Your hands. Thank You Lord for Your love, provision and protection. I realize in the dungeon circumstances of my life is where I will learn to truly depend on You. Thank You for teaching me when I come to the place You are all I have, I will truly find You are all I need.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Prayer for Strength to Get Through the Day

Jesus, I need you. I feel like I have nothing left. I need your strength so I can live today. Help me rely on you every single moment of today. Help me keep my eyes focused on you, and not on how I am feeling. I don’t have the energy to get things done today, help me have grace with myself if not everything is accomplished. You are my hope for today. Everything that I need is in you. I want to rely on your love so that I can love others today. My purpose is in you, and help me live that out. Amen.
